February 2021 - Citizenship applications

[kurtrules]

Hi Was this update on your file or your wife's who took test outside Canada.? I am in similar boat as I took test outside Canada and no updates since then.

Yes. She was waiting since January. Then she wrote a couple of times to the same address from where the test was sent.

They replied back. They thought that she was till outside the country. So perhaps with you it is the same as well.

Hi,

I sent my citizenship application via mail in Nov 2020. AOR date is Feb 2021.
background check completed April 2021.
invitation for online test Jan 2022. Test passed Feb 1st 2022. Got no update since, I have been checking the status almost daily.

I noticed today that my language skills have now been updated to “completed”. Prohibitions and Physical Presence remain incomplete.
What is the general consensus here, can I expect the oath ceremony anytime soon?

Anyone else see the status change in ECAS to "oath ceremony scheduled" but have not received an invitation? Strangely the note says to let them know if you don't receive it by the oath scheduled date (do they mean the date the update was made?)

 

[ProntoTiny]

Yeah! Trackers update again.

Update: June 8
Schedule for Oath: June 27 (just in time for Canada Day)

Hopefully no more hiccups .... THANK you everyone

Hi everyone,
I sent my paper application from Montreal on Feb 2 2021, obtained AOR on March 23 2021, got fingerprint request around end of November 2021. On December 15 2021, my background verification status updated to 'Complete'.

Since then, it has been radio silence, no updates, emails nor invitation to take the test. Should I contact my MP to figure out what is happening, or should I still wait and hope they contact me soon? I'm kind of disappointed with this situation. Thanks

Hello, these notes are from my GCMS report. Note 1 is about an email. Can anyone suggest what these notes mean? I got back to Canada as well but it has been a long wait already.

Notes 2: File removed from PE and forwarded to local office?

Notes 3: Referred for review - test taken outside Canada. JML T3

I got my test done in November 2021 and no update since then

I think once you take the test from outside Canada they put your file in the freezer. Some other member who took the test in October got oath invite 15 days back.
